Picture of the Day - October 25, 2018
Two frozen worlds very almost identical in their size ratio to one another as the Pluto-Charon double dwarf planet system.

New Blogs - Coming Soon
To all my followers. I am creating some new blogs to include different interests of mine besides just astronomy and space engine. The first blog will be about rabbits and sharks. I know it sounds like an odd mix, but it covers both my favorites from land and the sea and will include pics of my two buns. A few other possible blogs I might start include general interests, sci-fi stuff, and maybe just thought for the day type material.
The rabbits and sharks blog should be up and running soon.

Insight B System - Fourth Planet - Insight B-V
The fifth planet orbiting Insight B is a terrestrial-like planet roughly one quarter the mass of earth (0.27 Earth Masses) and 80% of Earth’s radius (5,093.84 km). It is predominately rocky world with a significant water content in its mantle, surrounded by a thin Carbon Dioxide atmosphere.
The surface is cold with an average temperature of -159 F, and an atmospheric pressure of 0.11 atmospheres. A single small spherical satellite orbits the planet. One day lasts approximately 23 hours 38 mins. Insight B-V orbits its sun at an average distance of 0.97 AU, completing an orbit once every 1.163 Earth Years. The planet is notable for having a retrograde rotation, orbiting almost on its side with an axial tilt of 104°. Considering the planet orbits between two gas giants, the extreme tilt is to be expected.

Vernier System - Post 3 (4th Planet)
The system’s 4th plant. This planet is a super-Earth orbiting the two suns at an average distance of 3.79 AU. At 4.66 Earth masses and a radius of 1.71 Earth’s the planet is quite large and massive compared to Earth. It has a hydrocarbon rich atmosphere and an average surface temperature of 187 K or -122 °F. 3 large satellites orbit the planet. The surface show evidence of numerous large impact events.
The plant’s large moons orbit close to the planet and are capable of producing double eclipses, a phenomenon only possible in star systems with more than 1 sun.
